Défi : envoyer James dans l'espace

S1 E64
·
2016

Our test subjects’ imaginations know no bounds: they’re defying the laws of gravity to send Mini-James into space. Our “Test Subject Astronaut” will need a vehicle worthy of the adventure. A Coke bottle and a water rocket will lay the groundwork for propulsion... Vincent heads out to meet with the Air Force club that has built a real experimental rocket. For his part, David will opt for a weather balloon to send our crash-tester beyond the clouds.
